Re Admission of Sons of Officers of the New Zealand Permanent Force to Osborne or Britannia Colleges.

Defence Office,
Wellington, 19th August, 1903.

THE following despatch, received from the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for the Colonies, is published for general information.

R. J. SEDDON,
Minister of Defence.

(New Zealand.—No. 48.)

Downing Street, 3rd July, 1903.

My Lord,—I have the honour to acquaint you, for the information of your Ministers, that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty are pleased to approve of the sons of officers in the permanent naval and military forces in New Zealand, if exclusively employed as such, being eligible for the privilege of admission to the Osborne or Britannia Colleges on the reduced charges of £40 a year, under the same conditions as naval and military officers of the Imperial forces.

2. The number of such cadets to whom this privilege can be granted is strictly limited, and in the selection of candidates regard is paid solely to the pecuniary circumstances of the cadet. It will, of course, be understood that no preference can be given on account of the fact that the candidate for the reduced scale of pay has received a colonial nomination.

3. Copies are forwarded of the form upon which the application for the reduced scale of payment should be made.

I have, &c.,

J. CHAMBERLAIN.

Governor the Right Hon. the Earl of Ranfurly, G.C.M.G., &c.
